energy efficient new homes

How long will it take the certification body (CB) to review a test report?

EPA anticipates this will differ between product categories and certification bodies (CBs). As part of its application, a CB is required to provide EPA with a detailed description of its review process in order to allow EPA to estimate its potential impact on partners? product introduction cycles. EPA is working with CBs to ensure that certification occurs within a timeframe that adequately addresses partners? concerns regarding product development cycles, and time-to-market.
